USA Today – Pizza Patrón, a 104-unit, carry-out pizza chain headquartered in Dallas, is raising eyebrows both inside and outside the Latino community with a planned promotion to give away thousands of large pepperoni pizzas on the evening of June 5 to folks who order in Spanish. It can be broken Spanish. It can be first-time Spanish. But it has to be Spanish. The move comes at a time immigration and immigration reform remain simmering election-year issues. One in every six people in the U.S. is Latino, says the U.S. Census Bureau. From 2000 to 2010, the U.S. Hispanic population expanded from 35.3 million to 50.5 million. Critics of the free pizza promo are lashing out — including some in the Latino community. “Maybe they thought it was a cute thing to do, but I think it’s discrimination,” says Marcela Gomez, president of Hispanic Marketing Group, a Latino marketing firm in Nashville. “As an advertising agency, I would never recommend this to my client.” One conservative group doesn’t like it, either. “It seems to punish people who can’t speak Spanish, and I resent that,” says Peter Thomas, chairman of the Conservative Caucus, which advocates English as the nation’s spoken language. “In public areas, people should be speaking English, and that includes pizza parlors.”
Oh man Pizza Patron done fucked up. Seriously when you have both Peter Thomas the Rich White Republican Asshole AND Marcela Gomez the President of all Hispanics mad at you at the same time, you know you did something wrong. Like you literally can’t get more opposite ends of the spectrum and you managed to upset both of them. That’s how you know your promotion sucks. I will say however that as a former A student in AP Spanish I would be getting free pies out the asshole if I had one of these near me. Pizza Patrón para días. Pizza Patrón para desayuno almuerzo y cena. Invitar a todos mis hermanos Mexicanos sobre comer conmigo. Tirar en algunas telenovelas y sólo aplastar pies como leer acerca de. ¿A quién le importa es Pizza Patrón como Pizza Hut para la gente pobre? Si es libre estoy matándola. Sin preguntas. ¡Estadounidenses y mexicanos se unen! ¡Unir gratis Pizza patrón!
Seriously these Mexicans get way too offended if you ask me. Hey bros you read the news? You’re the majority now. Stop whining and just live that shit up.
